Report – Barcelona Make Inter Milan Defender Top Priority For The Summer Amid Intense Exit Talks | OneFootball

La Liga giants Barcelona have reportedly identified Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni as their top priority for the summer.

According to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo via FCInter1908, Los Blaugranas are keeping a close eye on the Italian’s current situation.

What seemed unthinkable until recently is steadily becoming a distinct possibility.

Indeed, Inter and Alessandro Bastoni could part ways at the end of the season.

Though that’s far from a foregone conclusion, it looks like the Nerazzurri are willing to listen to offers for the 26-year-old.

With Cristian Chivu planning a summer overhaul, the San Siro outfit must raise funds for new signings.

Therefore, Bastoni could fall victim to Inter’s need to balance the books and fund their summer rebuild.

Inter’s readiness to negotiate Bastoni’s exit must be music to Barcelona’s ears.

Indeed, the Catalan heavyweights are the center-back’s long-term admirers.

Furthermore, they’ve already held exploratory talks with the player’s agent to lay the groundwork for a potential summer transfer.

Bastoni’s speed and physical attributes perfectly suit the Spanish side’s style of play under Hansi Flick.
